ATLA NOHO

“Delicious Mexican spot, loved the pork Al pastor and all the sauces 😍 it was absolutely delicious, all the ingredients were fresh and the service was amazing! Even with all the tortillas and the generous portions, we (a table of 4) felt full (but not heavy and stuffed) after the meal. HIGHLY recommend”

“Really good mezcalita. The green ones better than the red one. But they are just way too expensive for the portion even for the area. So many ice cubes. The service could have even better.”

“Very disappointing. I was a huge fan, long time since last time I came for brunch. I tried again and it was a terrible experience. We ordered margaritas to start, and these were tequila, lime and ice. I am sure you can make your own much better. We also ordered guacamole to start and it was spicy but no salt, so do not even try. As mains, I got the gringa which was huge, greasy and not very tasty. Very little cheese and no flavor. My wife got the fried chicken breast, which was deeply fried, soaking grease and unsalted. Finally, to try to get by, we got micheladas, which were acceptable but not great. Try a less trendy/ brand name and support smaller Mexican spots which would give you a much better experience. For completeness, we paid $146 :/”

“I really wanted to like this place but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The flavors were a bit bland, and some dishes felt like they were missing that special touch. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but it seems like the hype didn't translate into the actual experience. The ambiance is nice, and the staff was attentive, but when it comes to the food, I was left wanting more. The prices are so expensive almost $30 for 2 pieces of tacos. We ordered guacamole as well the chips are stale and oily. I hope the management look into it and considering their market prices.”

“One unacceptable and unethical mistake in the professional restaurant industry can turn a five-star experience into a one-star review, even for a Michelin-guided restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious, the service from Omar was excellent, and the overall dining atmosphere was enjoyable. We ordered guacamole, mackerel aguachile, beef & onion tacos (the onions were barely noticeable), and fried fish steak (which was dry). The appetizers were flavorful and leaned toward the sour side. However, the tacos and fish fell short of our expectations. The spicy margarita and skin-contact wine selection were particularly refreshing. Our server, Omar, was patient, friendly, and professional, answering all my questions with care. However, while sitting at the bar, I witnessed another server, Many, using the same straw to taste two different cocktails before serving them to customers. He pressed one side of the straw with his finger, lifted it, drank from the other end, and then used the same straw to taste another drink. I immediately informed my server when Many brought the drinks to the customers. Omar later returned to tell me that Many claimed he had flipped the straw to the other side. To me, whether he flipped it or not, using the same straw on two different drinks is unethical in the restaurant industry. Moreover, he had been drinking himself, which raised concerns about his judgment. Both my friend and I also did not recall seeing him flip the straw. For the next half hour, he walked past me multiple times but avoided eye contact, further reinforcing my belief that he knew he had acted improperly. After Omar spoke to the manager, she came to talk to us. However, instead of being honest and addressing the issue directly with the customers who drank the cocktails, they simply offered us a dessert. This felt more like an attempt to dissuade us from writing a review rather than a genuine effort to resolve the situation.”
